This afternoon I set off to walk to the neighborhood little market to get a variety of things and a good walk at the same time.
Part way there my phone rang and it was my son so we chatted as I walked and I put my phone back in my jacket zip pocket (it is still cool and windy here). I don't know why but I put my hand in that pocket just as I got to the market --- but my credit card wasn't there. Yikes. It must of stuck to the phone case and fallen on the ground.
I turned around and walked about 3/4 of the way home and found it on the ground fortunately. I almost went home but it is a beautiful sunny afternoon so I headed back to the market, bought what I intended and then walked back home carrying a heavy bag. My feet are tired.
What did I buy? Romaine lettuce and an avocado to add to chicken chef salad tonight. And then there were the things I really was in search of - a bottle of Chardonnay, a loaf of delicious fresh walnut levain and rosemary and thyme goat cheese.
Sitting here eating bread with goat cheese and sipping wine while I read the new Laurie King book from the library is a perfect late afternoon.
What semi-healthy non-sugary food treats do you go out of your way to buy for yourself?
I am so glad that you found the card. That is amazing. Crackers and cheese are my go to for a semi-healthy treat.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I like that a lot too! I really thought I wouldn't find the card and would have to cancel it and wait for another but instead a good outcome.
DeletePhew! I would hate to think you couldn't get wine...
ReplyDeleteExactly!
DeleteAlthough the lettuce and avocado were the impetus lol.
DeleteThat actually sounds like a page from my life! Ha! My favorite treat lately is 1 T each chunky peanut butter and dark chocolate chips to spread on graham crackers. But failing that, I would make a special trip for ice cream. (:
ReplyDeleteChocolate chips, peanut butter and graham cracker sound amazing!
DeleteI'll bet you had a huge sense of relief when you found it! I know I felt relief just reading about it. :)
ReplyDeleteVer y relieved and surprised it was still there although it isn’t a busy street on weekdays with school out.
DeleteGood for you to find the card and to turn around and walk BACK to the store. You earned that delicious reward of wine and cheese. A handful of nuts (nuts for the nutty) is one of my go-to snacks. And Hershey's kisses. Love them. And will eat no more than 2 at a time.
ReplyDeleteYou have more chocolate self control than I do! Nuts are great though.
